The shepherds who were watching their sheep in the fields heard of My birth and came to worship Me.
O, My people, seek out the Scriptures pertaining to My birth and meditate on them. Refresh your memory by reading the accounts of the events of that day. Of My mother....
Of the shepherds tending their sheep...
And the shepherds came to Bethlehem and found me lying in the manger and 'they made widely known the saying concerning My birth.
My precious people, I would urge you this Christmas to keep your mind stayed on the real meaning of Christmas and not be caught up with the materialism of the world. Of course you need to make preparation for fellowship with family and gifts for loved ones but in your daily quiet time with Me concentrate on the stories of that first Christmas when I was born.
Even with the world in chaos I shall be with you, guiding your thoughts, your words and your actions. This is a time to consider the poor in your midst, those who would not have much at Christmas and share your plenty with them. Think of the children who will not be receiving gifts this Christmas and do what you can to share with them. You cannot imagine the joy you will feel in being able to bring joy to them.
O, My people, draw ever closer to Me as the new year dawns. Determine in your heart to embark on a new beginning in your Christian walk with Me. Seek Me with all your heart and I shall be found.
And now, My people, go forth and partake of the joys of this Christmas season. Do not allow busyness to overcome but rather enjoy the activities of the season that honor Me...the musical presentations, the special services at your church and all the special events. If you begin to feel oppressed just bring your needs unto Me and I shall raise you up into the glory of the season and you shall rejoice.
